Bungie is planning significant layoffs after ending development on Destiny 2, with no new projects greenlit to absorb the team. Bloomberg reports the studio has no immediate plans for Destiny 3, and internal pitches have not been approved. The news follows the underperformance of Bungie's latest release Marathon (1.2M units sold), Sony recording nearly $770M in impairment charges related to Bungie, and a broader retreat by Sony from live-service gaming. Bungie has already shed hundreds of staff in 2023 and 2024, and former CEO Pete Parsons departed in 2025 amid criticism of overspending on cancelled projects.
